EGTS

In 2013, a Safran/Honeywell joint venture demonstrated An Airbus A320 taxiing with engine covers at the Paris Air Show, but Honeywell left by 2016.

[3] In 2012, easyJet, in collaboration with Honeywell and Safran, announced that it would be the first airline to support the development and trial of the electric green taxiing system (EGTS).

[9] In March 2014, Honeywell and Safran signed a Memorandum of Understanding with GoAir to support the advancement of the EGTS taxiing system.
